Calculating Percentages
So I have this calculated table (I derived the table using a CALCULATE()), that looks like this.
| Dept | Location | No of Ppl |
| Sales | USA | 40 |
| Sales | Denmark | 20 |
| Sales | Sweden | 40 |
| Sales | Australia | 30 |
| Sales | Norway | 80 |
| Sales | India | 10 |
| Sales | China | 30 |
Now, I need 2 additional columns (Cols 4 & 5 in the table below), that will help me calculate the percentage - something like this!
| Dept | Location | No of Ppl | Total Ppl | Percentage |
| Sales | USA | 40 | 250 | 0.16 |
| Sales | Denmark | 20 | 250 | 0.08 |
| Sales | Sweden | 40 | 250 | 0.16 |
| Sales | Australia | 30 | 250 | 0.12 |
| Sales | Norway | 80 | 250 | 0.32 |
| Sales | India | 10 | 250 | 0.04 |
| Sales | China | 30 | 250 | 0.12 |
Can someone help me do that? Also, please note that there are multiple departments in the department column. The Total ppl column should contain values for each department!
Thanks in advance :)

Okay if you really want COLUMNS here are those formulas...
Total People COLUMN = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[No of Ppl] ), ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Dept]) ) Percentage COLUMN = DIVIDE ( 'Table'[No of Ppl], 'Table'[Total People COLUMN], 0 )But in case you want MEASURES
Total People MEASURE = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[No of Ppl] ), ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Dept] ) ) Percentage MEASURE = DIVIDE ( SUM('Table'[No of Ppl]), [Total People MEASURE], 0)Hope this helps!
Good Luck! :smileyhappy:

Hey Sean,
I'm looking only for Columns. But the SUM() formula to calculate no of people doesn't seem to help if I have more than 1 department. I'm sending you a sample below.
Dept Location No of Ppl Total Ppl Percentage Sales USA 40 250 0.16 Sales Denmark 20 250 0.08 Sales Sweden 40 250 0.16 Sales Australia 30 250 0.12 Sales Norway 80 250 0.32 Sales India 10 250 0.04 Sales China 30 250 0.12 HR USA 20 137 0.15 HR Denmark 10 137 0.07 HR Sweden 50 137 0.36 HR Australia 20 137 0.15 HR Norway 25 137 0.18 HR India 10 137 0.07 HR China 2 137 0.01 Anonymous
Formulas revised above! :smileyhappy:
Hey all,
I am trying to find a measure that would help me to see the percentage of each status for each AREA.
Example: I have a total of 40 tickets from which 20 on WE and 20 on MEA.
I want to see what % of the total on WE are completed.
At this moment I have the option to see only the % of the total (40 tickets).
I would like to highlight the fact that the chart used is columns (not tables).
Thank you so much in advance.
